Re: “B.C. can’t lead on climate and push LNG,” May 24.Premier Christy Clark is between a rock and a hard place. During the last election campaign, she promised thousands of jobs from liquefied natural gas. She is also promising to reduce greenhouse gases, but as the commentary says, the math doesn’t add up.
So she will be criticized for causing more emissions and at the same time time, disappointing all those job-hunters who took her at her word, if she bows to pressure from the environmentalists.
Worst of all, though, is the membership of LNG lobbyist David Keane on the climate leadership team. Isn’t that a bit like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse?
The whole business of LNG needs to be rethought and a massive change of direction implemented.
